City manager praises public works, outlines capital proposals and warns county meter pit could lead to sewer rate changes
Summary
City Manager Mr. Dapolito commended public works for storm response, described proposed capital budget submissions including a playground and water-line work, and said talks with the county about installing a meter pit on Topaz Circle to measure flow could affect sewer charges; staff obtained an estimate for installing the meter pit.
City Manager Mr. Dapolito opened his report by recognizing the public works department for storm response and for quick action on a cold-weather water break; he singled out staff for working in difficult conditions and praised their snow removal efforts.
He said the city is preparing capital-project requests for the state capital budget fund discussed at a leadership academy; potential projects include two relating to ‘‘RGM'/ (referred to in the meeting) and a water-line improvement. He said the city will submit proposals to the state and hopes to secure funding.
On intergovernmental issues, Mr. Dapolito updated council on talks with the county about installing a meter pit on Topaz Circle to measure the amount of flow the county receives from the city. He said the meter pit estimate has been obtained, that the measurement will provide hard numbers on inflow to the county system, and that rate adjustments may follow; he said the city would try to negotiate a phased or stepped increase to reduce immediate impact on residents.
Ending: City Manager asked council to remain aware of potential changes to sewer billing as negotiations continue and noted staff will return with more information as talks progress.
